New InsightSIP ISP4520 – Smart LoRa and Bluetooth Low Energy Combo Module

The ISP4520 offers a unique combination of two leading IoT radio technologies in one class leading miniaturised package.

With integrated BLE and LoRa this module offers the long-range capability of LoRa for data transmission over distance, together with the high-throughput flexible service of BLE for a more local connection. This provides perfect flexibility of long range data acquisition, combined with the capacity to carry out configuration, commissioning and update capabilities via radio communications built into any smartphone or tablet.

The module measures 9.8 x 17.2 x 1.7 mm and incorporates chips from the leading semiconductor vendors for each technology – Nordic Semiconductor (for BLE) and Semtech (for LoRa). Processing power is provided by the Nordic nRF52’s onboard M4 floating point processor, with 512K of flash memory available for advanced applications. The Semtech SX1261 provides the LoRa radio function.

Both semiconductors offer best in class low power consumption, coupled with an array of power saving features, allowing for multi-year coin-cell operation (depending on application use-case). The module integrates antennas for both LoRa and BLE transmission, thus allowing this device to be a pre-certified complete radio and application core solution, requiring only external sensors, or connection to a customers existing device. An external antenna can also be attached to provide maximum transmission range for the LoRa.The module is supplied with a combined BLE and LoRaWAN stack
